Big thanks to all contributors!!! You are the best!
Seems I'm no longer needed.
OK. On businesses!
FYI!
I don't 99,2% of issues presented here. All the cards and filters are presented properly in my MWS.
I use original MWS downloaded from the MWS page. Have all original game-packs up to KTK.
My latest TXT update (in thread - first post) polished all the problems with that file and also ... updated PICS-KTK.Zip is now filled with all missing cards.
I have reworked file completely manually and polished all the faulty stuff (100% correct). Now contains everything (Flavor text - in FULL and artist names)
Thanks to some really nasty individuals in In-box and Thread new updates will be sent only trough in-box on personal base.
Get off of your high horse. We will thank you when you release a working patch. As of now, the text spoiler doesn't work when you load it into MWS-it doesn't allow you to use "Complex Card Filter," which is something I and many others use on a daily basis. You also said "I took it upon myself to create this." So yeah, good work and all, but let us know when it's finished. Thanks.
You know where you can stick it with your 8 contributions! Right?!
There is everything in except some Flavor text and basic land images.
Flavor text will be completely added on Friday.
Basic Land images you can add alone. They will also be complete on Friday.
Thank you Marek14 and MortSubite for beta testing and spotting mistakes.
Bravelion83, thank you for saving me trouble of explaining insertion of the file in MWS.
I will try to rework the glitches today or possibly on Monday.
I am surprised there aren't more of them.
But I believe this is completely workable version.
You can rectify those glitches on your own when copying TXT file.
Pictures ... I have to see what's missing.
It was kinda done in hurry.
I can't really create awesome stuff like you guys but I did make this and this kraken token for kiora.
Lol, no one can beat the almighty Narb in terms of alter quality, tbh.
lol, found the art for my bruna.
Where could I find art of lion you used for your "Go For the Throat" watermark? I'm doing some Ajani and could use it as watermark on him.
Thx in advance.

People Are discussing, don't catch on semantics! Techniques and proxy selling can't be the part of forum ... Fine! I condone that ... Because of misuse. But someone's Dropbox gallery link can't be the grounds for suspensions or banning.
Stop acting like Stalin please! This is becoming ridiculous!
I can understand zealous ... But this is just plane smothering over semantics!
Chill!
PS: Ban my ass if I said something wrong. I just wonder.
I can try to simplify it for you, but I am unclear exactly what you don't understand about it. It is some of the terms? How they're used? Would an example using other cards help?
An SBA is an action that can only be done under certain conditions or board states. A continuous effect is always happening. You are not checking to see if it can become a creature when you have enough devotion. When you have enough devotion it just constantly is a creature. You don't take an action to make it a creature when you have enough devotion.
I COMPLETELY understand all the interactions.
Did you see the questions in the thread? I was trying to dumb the interactions to the most basic level.
My wording was not completely on the spot ... but I think essence of the written things was on the spot.
How do you explain basic level player that continuous ability like the on on Thassa is "it is a static ability which generates a continuous type changing text changing effect."
Have you ever tried that?
To understand that takes the years of magic ... tournament or kitchen table ... regardless.
Now I tried to dumb it like state effect ... DEVOTION 5 - YES ... Thassa = Creature Enchantment ... DEVOTION 5 - NO ... Thassa = Enchantment ... witch is basically same (not even close) but basic player understands it.
People need to stop saying "state-based effect". This card as written is not dependent on state-based effects, it's just something that's either true or false about the card at all times (while it's on the battlefield), even without SBEs being checked.
And how would you dumb that enough that everybody can understand?
Let's say Thassa is in the graveyard. Can I use Reanimate (I know it's not standard legal but I just needed a reanimator spell to make my point) to summon her to the battlefield? I know if my devotion is less that five I won't have her as a creature, but can I use a target creature spell on her if she's dead and my devotion is less than five?
Short answer is YES.
Than due to state based ... she would turn into ench and/or remain creature.
I have some difficulty with this...considering it says on the card:
"As long as your devotion to blue is less than five, Thassa isn’t a creature."
Going one step further...
Is that line of text not 'applicable' if Thassa is in the graveyard, or hand, then?
For instance...Reanimate targets Thassa, she begins to enter the battlefield - is the devotion count checked at this point?
Or is devotion count always checked, no matter what zone Thassa is in?
So if I meet the devotion count is she now a creature while in my hand, and a target for Thoughtseize? Or perhaps I do not meet devotion and she is instead a target for Duress? Or is she a qualified target for both, regardless of devotion count while in someone's hand (or even library)?
While being on stack its counted as CREATURE SPELL .. so YES. Essence Scatter would counter it.
On the other hand DURESS could not touch it in hand. Oracle text states : " Target opponent reveals his or her hand. You choose a NONCREATURE, nonland card from it. That player discards that card."
With her printed subtypes Thassa is creature while being in your hand.
Oh here's a funny rules question... If you wanted to Birthing Pod your God, do you need to meet the Devotion requirement, or is Devotion an ability that only applies on the battlefield, making it lose a card type it would otherwise have in hidden zones?
You CAN Pod it IN. BUT u CAN'T Pod it out ... Unless u meet Devotion requirements.
1. Due to it's creature type, can you only have 1 god out at time due to it being legendary?
2. If you have enough devotion to make it a creature, but that amount goes down below its requirement while it's a creature, does it just become an enchantment again?
Answers:
1. YES - If you are referring at 2 cards named Thassa / or NO - If you are referring at 2 different gods.
("Legend Rules" apply on all legendary permanents. Including Creatures and/or enchantments. Same logic applies to combination of both.)
2. And YES
(Devotion is STATE BASED ... so if state is "NOT ENOUGH DEVOTION" Thassa ceases to be Creature.)
Does Selesnya charm work on the god even when it hasnt flipped?
NOPE.
U target the creature with power of 5 or greater ... If Thassa is not creature at point of Selesny charm's resolution ... it fizzles. So devotion requirement has to be met B4 charm exiles Thassa.
I am witnessing the death of the game I have enjoyed for many years. An indestructible, deck fixing blue enchantment that allows your creatures to go unblockable and eventually becomes a 5/5 is too much for me.
Magic will become very unfun with the addition of this perfect control card. This seems awfully yugioh like.
I Don't understand gloom haters like you.
Magic has endured for so long due to his constant adaptations and innovations. Those adaptations and innovations are only augmenting the popularity of game.
I bet you were glooming over the planeswalkers in the same manner.
Her place, impact and power level have to be proven .... She is interesting ... but she might not see play at any point. Such is the fate of magic cards.
U can argue, but this god is beautifully designed and playable. Full of flavor. Fixes main problem of todays standard blue deck (deck manipulation). Everything else serves just to state her godlike nature. Thus INDESTRUCTIBLE serves as the way of showing its not easy to kill god.
This is pleasing!

Oh BTW.
You know where you can stick it with your 8 contributions!
Really challenging public.
The files have been updated.
There is everything in except some Flavor text and basic land images.

Basic Land images you can add alone. They will also be complete on Friday.
Thank you Marek14 and MortSubite for beta testing and spotting mistakes.
Bravelion83, thank you for saving me trouble of explaining insertion of the file in MWS.

PS: Some of you are really ungrateful.
I told you it is UNPOLISHED VERSION.
I will try to rework the glitches today or possibly on Monday.
I am surprised there aren't more of them.

Hold your horses until Monday.

I made it!

Enyoj!
this post is for the impatient ones that want to start testing right away (like myself).
I took the task upon myselg to create TXT spoiler for Khans of Tarkir.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72699399/Khans of Tarkir.txt
It is completely unpolished version.
Only basics:
NAME
COST
TYPE
RELEVANT TEXT
FLAVOR TEXT (Only on some cards)
P/T
It will work mostly and be punctual in things that matter.
UPDATE:
Added and converted images:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/72699399/KTK - JPG.zip
I hope you enjoy it.
Let the BREWING begin!
Cheers!
PS: Next update should be in few days. Containing ALL FLAVOR TEXT and ARTIST NAMES.
UPDATED - 16.09.2014
Where could I find art of lion you used for your "Go For the Throat" watermark? I'm doing some Ajani and could use it as watermark on him.
Thx in advance.
I have some of those.
All cards are spoiled.
Please don't make me do it myself like Commander 2013!
Thx in advance!

Guess ... Being precise and plastic in explaining gets confronting.
But for all purposes ... You are completely right there.
And how would you dumb that enough that everybody can understand?

U had to challenge my interpretation of rules!
BTW: You might have point there ... BUT ... under current rules ... I have point.
You CAN Pod it IN. BUT u CAN'T Pod it out ... Unless u meet Devotion requirements.

Short answer is YES
While in your hand Thassa is CREATURE Enchantment. When it hits BF then state based effects (such as Devotion) trigger.
It's actually ... Pretty ugly!
